I was just looking throught the windows directory and I knew I could find the driver for the ati chip that MIGHT be at some level the cause of the poor performance in media apps. I opened up the config file and just wanted to have someone with lots of knowledge go throught it also and check and see if they can change any settings. Personally I have no idea what most of these things mean. The one thing that I did recognize was the clock frequency setting. There is one for "xtalclk" one for "normclkfreq" and "fastclkfreq" the first two are set to 14.3mhz and the fast one is set to 60mhz. I think based on my knowledge that the reason for more than one setting is for power savings so when its not being stressed it goes down to 14.3mhz I was thinking if apps were not designed to take advantage of this maybe setting it to 60mhz for all three might help. I am willing to try it, but I dont want to kill my baby. There are lots of neat and potential useful settings so hopefully someone can shed some light onto this. Thanks
